At Synapx, we are proud to announce that we have achieved both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditations, marking a significant step in our ongoing commitment to safeguarding the data and systems of our clients.
“As a company committed to safeguarding our clients’ data and maintaining trust, achieving both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications is a critical milestone for us.” – Andrew Price, CEO
These UK government-backed certifications demonstrate that we have implemented and independently verified the necessary security measures to protect against common cyber threats, reinforcing our dedication to providing a secure foundation for all our projects.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus: The Foundation of Security
Protecting sensitive data from cyber threats is a critical concern for every business. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification designed to help organisations safeguard their data and systems from common cyberattacks. This certification outlines five key technical controls that improve an organisation’s security posture:
- Firewalls: Ensure that all devices connected to the internet are protected to prevent unauthorised access.
- Secure Configuration: Improve security by removing unnecessary applications and adjusting system settings.
- Access Control: Manage user access to sensitive data based on roles.
- Malware Protection: Detect and remove harmful software with updated anti-malware tools.
- Patch Management: Keep systems and software up to date, closing potential vulnerabilities.
Building on this, Cyber Essentials Plus takes the certification process a step further. While Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment, Cyber Essentials Plus involves an independent technical audit, where accredited assessors test the organisation’s systems to confirm that the required controls are not only in place but are operating effectively in real-world scenarios. This external validation provides an additional layer of assurance for clients that Synapx’s cybersecurity defences have been rigorously tested and verified.
By achieving both certifications, Synapx not only ensures compliance with industry best practices but also provides clients with the highest level of confidence that their data and digital assets are protected by robust, independently tested security standards.
